Re: Georgetown Class of 2017
So I just talked to a friend who is a 1L at Georgetown now. She said she had to ask to be considered, then wrote a short paragraph, and she did receive a scholarship. So all hope for us may not be lost!ZipWhenSheMoves wrote:The consensus seems to be...maybe. Ha.

Re: Georgetown Class of 2017
Excellent! Ya, in my email, I asked if there was anything I should do to be considered, hopefully they will present me with the option to do that.redial38 wrote:So I just talked to a friend who is a 1L at Georgetown now.

Re: Georgetown Class of 2017
Communicated to Gtown the other day and asked about schollies. They said all applicants will be considered and awards would begin in early March. No additional steps necessary at this time. Georgetown is one of my top 2, so I'll probably start inquiring further in March if I don't hear anything.

I'm sad the Admitted Student day tomorrow was cancelled. On the upside, I won't likely have work...

Has anybody done a self-guided tour? How did that work out? Today's admitted students day was the only date I was able to make but it got cancelled.

Re: Georgetown Class of 2017
I may or may not have snuck in the weekend before last (I happened to be running in the neighborhood when I spontaneously decided to check it out, and there was no one at the door, so I just walked in). I wouldn't recommend it, at least on the weekend when most stuff is closed. I did get to see some of the classrooms, but I couldn't get into the library or the student center (building with the gym) - those were both staffed entrances. Maybe when the weather is warmer, especially during the week - I would email admissions and ask. I'm sure they can spare someone for half an hour to show you around. Admissions has been surprisingly responsive for me, given their crazy work load this time of year.kls120 wrote:Has anybody done a self-guided tour? How did that work out?

Got a big like, book thing in the mail today.
It was nice to get something from Georgetown that was more than a minuscule letter.

Got that too. It was pretty lengthy, and hard to keep open. But nice. I especially liked the part at the end that described the various neighborhoods that GULC people tend to live in. I wish other schools did that.barrelofmonkeys wrote:Got a big like, book thing in the mail today.

Can anyone clarify the difference between the single admit days and the two-day "weekends"?

Honestly, I think the whole point is to afford you flexibility. I wouldn't get worked up over which is better etc. etc. They're just trying to get you to campus.

Anyone ED?
Has anyone that's ED received any merit aid information at all?

I can't see them denying need-based aid to an applicant simply because they applied ED but merit aid, perhaps.

Re: Georgetown Class of 2017
According to their website it says:
"Any candidate for whom receipt of institutional financial aid is a prerequisite for enrolling should not apply through the Early Decision process."
But I'm wondering if it's wishful thinking that they might just grant some kind of aid to ED students in the past or current.
